Why Carol Stream clients choose a licensed vendor

Illinois requires anyone taking fingerprints for licensing or employment to hold an IDFPR fingerprint vendor licence. Prints taken by an unlicensed operator can be rejected outright, costing you weeks and a second agency fee. Efficient Biometrics is licence 262.000181 with a clean disciplinary record — you can check us on the state vendor list before you book. Beyond the licence, our reputation rests on getting submissions accepted the first time, which is the part that actually costs you if it goes wrong.
